challenge opportunity

The village girl who was close to death from illness was about to marry, and her suitor was a strong and hearty hunter. Having time-traveled to a poor and backward mountain village, she had resigned herself to the lack of three square meals a day, but was her new body already halfway into the grave? What's more curious was that someone still wanted to marry her despite being on her deathbed? Driven by curiosity, she went ahead with the marriage, eager to see who the unlucky sap was who'd lose his betrothal gifts and even the coffin money. Cradled in his arms, her body was thin as a rake, and she really wanted to ask him, "Husband, does holding me hurt your hands?"

Lin Ziang finds himself suddenly transported to a fantastical world, inhabiting the body of a minor villain — a young master with limited talents and a bad reputation in a small, insignificant city. In stories like this, characters like him are destined to be nothing more than cannon fodder, doomed to fall at the hands of the true protagonists. Yet, Lin Ziang has no intention of meeting such a fate. Just when all seems lost, a stroke of fortune arrives: the "Destiny Transfer System" awakens within him, offering a way to rewrite his story. The system grants Lin Ziang the power to steal the fortunes of those blessed by destiny, taking for himself the opportunities meant to fuel the rise of heroes. With this newfound ability, Lin Ziang realizes he can seize the very luck and fate of others to carve his own path to greatness. Armed with cunning, charisma, and a unique ability to manipulate destiny itself, Lin Ziang sets out to turn the tables on fate. Where others see insurmountable challenges, he sees opportunities to grow stronger. Where others follow their scripted paths to glory, he cuts them off, absorbing the rewards for himself. The world becomes his chessboard, and every protagonist his unwitting pawn. But surviving in this dangerous world is not enough. Lin Ziang wants more — to dominate the heavens, to bend the laws of the universe to his will, and to prove that even a villain can become the protagonist of his own story. As he navigates the treacherous politics of his family, faces powerful enemies, and continually defies the fate written for him, Lin Ziang knows one thing for sure: in a world where destiny is everything, he will be the one to decide his own. With each step, Lin Ziang climbs higher, challenging the very fabric of the narrative itself. His enemies scoff at his ambitions, yet he meets their scorn with a knowing smile: "Have you ever seen a villain become the protagonist in the end? I am." Seizing destiny with both hands, Lin Ziang begins his relentless ascent, not just to survive, but to reign supreme.
